Tucked away on quiet Maiden Lane, this 1921 Spanish Colonial Revival is brimming with charm and character. Set back from the street the home is framed by lovely landscaped Laurels and bright bougainvillea spilling over the gated driveway. White stucco walls, turquoise-teal trim and a pergola announce the home's personality, and the shaded, covered front porch with red concrete floor offers the perfect spot to sit and enjoy. Inside, the living room is bright and cozy, with hardwood floors, baseboards and crown moulding, and a decorative brick fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves. Across the way, the dining room offers more built-ins and wood casement windows. Warm and inviting, these living spaces create the perfect public rooms. Just off the dining room, a galley kitchen features warm-toned tile floors, a gas range and a breakfast nook with side yard views. It flows into the laundry room, which offers direct backyard access and opens to the home's full bath. The bath is sweet and period-perfect, with hexagonal tile floor, a charming medicine cabinet, built-in cabinetry, and shower. Off the living room, a versatile bedroom with a large closet works beautifully as an office, nursery, sitting room or guest room, and connects to both the bath and the primary bedroom. The primary is a light-filled corner retreat, wrapped by a continuous row of windows framing views of mature trees and the backyard, with a floating shelf above and wood floors, completing this serene space. A third bedroom, also off the living room, is comfortable and full of light. Outside a small porch steps down to an expansive fenced, private yard with abundant green space, centered on a stately American Sweetgum tree and bordered by fragrant lavender. An outdoor patio is ideal for dining and entertaining, and the long driveway leads to a covered carport. Full of heart and history and just minutes from neighborhood favorites MIYA Thai, Betsy and Prime Pizza, this storybook Spanish Revival is a fantastic value.
